Did anyone ever tried cutting meat with one of these? Cutting through the ribs perhaps?

No, I have never tried that. I do think it would cut through meat as the blade is very heavy and sharp.

I would not try that, the knife blade had a torsion spring and would most likely just move the knife edge away from the board.

If they did, it definitely wasn't me whom tried. I only use it for paper...

Well, you do need to cut AT THE JOINT on the larger (leg) bones. If you must hack your way through the leg or thigh bone in the middle of it, I'd suggest a cleaver, not the scissors. Personally, I never cut any meat with anything BUT a knife. Scissors, while very popular with some for poultry and other fowl, seem somehow sacrilegious to me in the cutting of meat. Also, these are sold, I believe, as general kitchen shears, not specifically poultry shears, which may have a heavier blade and offset handles.

I have NOT. Having said that, I would guess that cutting one of these would be pretty difficult -- they are pretty thick/heavy duty.

No. It would not even slice meat very good . It finelly stripped out the drive gear and I sent it back . We have a 6year old Nesco that has a serrated blade that will cut through frozen meat with no problem that I would recommend instead of this one. Good luck .

It will do about a one inch piece of meat. My problem with it is the knives are to far apart to really do a good job. You have to run the meat through to many times to get the tenderness you may be looking for.

As I am a vegetarian I do not eat meat so I would not know if the knife would work for that purpose. I did purchase a slicing knife at Amazon that is great. It is almost as large as the cake knife and just as sturdy.I do not know how to sharpen a serrated blade.

This knife is sharp and it will cut anything but it is designed to remove meat from a bone.May I suggest you look at the Voctorinox chegs knife for cutting boneless chicken as it has multple uses as well. I hope this helps.

I have not but it sounds like something I would like to try. I'm sure it would work, it would just have to be sliced in half most likely.

I've never done it, but to be totally honest with you, I'd have it done by a professional. The blade is far too sharp to make a mistake and you could seriously injure yourself.

I haven't, but I don't know why they wouldn't work for that activity. They work great for cutting sandwiches. Why don't you give cookie dough cutting a try and let us know how it works.

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!

No i havent, i use mine 12 hrs a day, be sure to only use a wetstone to sharpen, and only use ceramic not a metal steele, never cut through bone, it should be fine

Have never tried -only use it for cheese - but I wouldn't think it would work - not strong enough/proper blade.

I haven't used the thing but my wife was quite impressed with it, she did cook a slab of ribs and they were delicious. It looks like you could comfortably cook a decent sized (family of 4or5) beef or pork roast.

I have used mine to cut 'paper' thin for meats. I have not tried vegetables yet.
